Here are the 20 worst dead money deals in sports

In honor of Charlie Weis and Notre Dame, 20 worst dead money deals in sports

I would post the entire article but...well...ESPN.com.

I forgot that Gilbert Arenas was traded to the Magic after the gun play in the locker room.

Spirits of St. Louis deal has to go down (in hindsight) as worst sports deal of any kind of all time. Of course at the time I'm sure it seemed reasonable...

Rovell left his own contract off of there. He's definitely dead money.
